    Hi @Mrskos, Radek

    You cannot rename a Virtual Network after creation. You must create a new Virtual Network and reassign the resources to it.

    @Mrskos, Radek out of my curiosity... why are you performing this action via a script?
    Did you try selecting all the Azure resources –> Click on the More option –> Select Move option –> Then choose Move to another resource group option.
    ?

    Hello Nico

    I did not know, now I know thanks. But at least I know how to do it now with powershell.
    I could move almost everything, except the Virtual Network, is there a reason why it can not be moved?

    @Mrskos, Radek
    is there any resource still attached to the VNET (if you take a look at the source RG)?
    can you please try moving the VNET (from the source RG to the destination one) using the way I showed in my previous comment?

    Yes, the Peering. Because the checks are done per VNET, Azure can not move VNET after VNET, so I have deleted the Peering between the two VNETs. Now I could move it to the new RG.
